%N a(n) = 1^n + 2^n + ... + 5^n.
%C a(n)*(-1)^n, n>=0, gives the z-sequence for the Sheffer triangle A049460 ((signed) 5-restricted Stirling1 numbers), which is the inverse triangle of A193685 (5-restricted Stirling2 numbers). See the W. Lang link under A006232 for a- and z-sequences for Sheffer matrices. The a-sequence for each (signed) r-restricted Stirling1 Sheffer triangle is A027641/A027642 (Bernoulli numbers). - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Oct 10 2011
